Dot com vs Dot net

In the past years Domain Name Selection also played an
important role in search engine optimization. But now Google is not considering
the domain names in optimizing them in the SERP (Search Engine Page Results).

To the general users there is no difference between .com and
.net

.COM is used for commercial and personal sites.

.NET is usually recommended for companies involved in
Internet infrastructure.

However, there are some similarities in hosting the three
domain names:

One can use only letters, numbers, or hyphen ("-")
as characters for the site

The domain name cannot begin or end with a hyphen

Two hyphens cannot be used together

The domain name must have less than 63* characters, not
including .COM, .NET and .ORG

.com is the standard #1 domain. If you're using the domain
for an established business, it may be worth the expense.

.net and .org are fine too. Google will give you just as
much sauce for any top-level domain. But some people may not remember these
domains as easily.

Honestly, if you are starting from scratch, your link
building strategy and content creation is going to make a much bigger
difference in SEO than your domain name.

Just think of it as if you were building a brand (because
actually, you are...). Nobody drinks Coke because they like the logo. They
drink it because it's everywhere.

People looking for the content you provide will visit your
site regardless of domain. A good one helps a bit, but I don't think Steve
Pavlina became successful on the strength of his domain - it's content and
optimization that will have the biggest impact on your success.
